I did not see last September.?
I think most mini lathes have a 3" or 4" 3 jaw.?
I do not know swing of your lathe.
?
The first did after the tool post was get a 5" 4 jaw chuck for the larger parts also a 4 jaw will grip a little larger too.?
?
My 5" 4j will grip around 6" .
?
If find used 6" 4j it will do around 7"

Re: A new (and slightly off) topic
Agree with mike in snowy Kansas.

All kinds of materials are machined.
?
Wood is nothing of a mess compared to phenolic.

Consider using a vacuum when working with messy material.

Re: A new (and slightly off) topic
Just my 2? worth this morning.....
?
I really don't think this thread is off-topic.? We are talking about machining different materials on a mini-lathe.? Does it really matter what the material is?? Would it be off-topic if I said I was cutting threads on a Delrin? ring for a telescope lens?? Is it off-topic if I am making a Teflon? piston for a replica steam engine??
?
In my main hobby of restoring antique carousel organs, I once made a production run of 600 "pipe toes" out of birch.? These are small to medium turnings that have a through hole, a tenon, and need a very repeatable taper of 3°.? My 8x14 mini-lathe was the only appropriate machine in my shop.
?
For those of you who like to google more information, here's an article from my good Friend David Wasson (who is a machinist by the way):

This very clear this site is only? MINI LATHE.?
So remember no off Topics here

It also includes calculations for taper turning by the tailstock

Hi Evan et al,
When you are writing or replying to a post via the Groups.io web interface, your message should be saved in the Drafts folder.? Unless you hit the Discard button.
You can have multiple drafts too, even on the same thread.? Draft will be saved for two weeks.??
?
I use this feature quite a bit.? e.g. Half finished reply, that I may get to later on.? Something I write but decide to think some more before hitting send.
I'm using it now <smile>.? Just realized I don't need to write a mini-manual.? Better service for me to search and provide a link to the manual.

Re: Ball bearing Cross slide and power look for IDEA'S
Thanks Bruce, that is what I thought. Now has anyone built a drive with steppers? I'd like to see how you set it up.
No. That article was just about adding a power feed to the mini-mill. You need stepper motors or servo motors for CNC, because you need to maintain absolute known position.?

The title "Cutting with a rotating cutter" made me think you might be making a polygon cutter for making square, hexagonal, pentagonal shafts etc. You are half way there with gears on the end of the leadscrew! ?My online program RideTheGearTrain includes a simulation of the polygon cutter so that you can vary the number of cutters on the spinning cutter head, vary the gear ratio between leadscrew and spinning cutter, and vary radius to see what effect it has:
?
?
I also have ? about it, including links to other YouTube videos of actual devices.
?
In this link you may also find when you scroll down quite a bit, an indexing device bush fix that I made using a small circular saw blade and I can substitute a range of change gears. The clicker I made for this makes it quite positive and precise: A broken hacksaw blade lifts up on a tooth of the saw blade and clicks off the edge of the tooth. Turn the check back a bit and the saw blade registers nicely on the straight edge of the saw tooth. It is prevented from bending backwards by a metal support on the underside of the blade. the blade I am using has 24 teeth and it is precise enough for at least 24 divisions, 12, 8, 3, 2, 4 etc.
